The University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus will partner with the Museo de Historia, Arte y Antropología and the Museo de Arte's Dr. Pio López Martínez to develop an academically structured and employment-oriented hands-on internship experience focusing on Puerto Rico and its diaspora. Project activities will include providing resources for staff training and development of museum studies curricula with a focus on deploying natural disaster related safety practices in collections management. Additionally, this internship will support studies in the preservation, revitalization, and dissemination of art objects held within partner museum collections. Project funds will support the development of curriculum with partnering museums as well as access to mentors in curatorial, preservation, and exhibition development activities. Internship participation will result in the presentation of 25 to 30 microprojects relating to museum methodology best practices.
